1 Combined Analysis of Genome Scans of Dutch and Finnish Families Reveals a Susceptibility Locus for High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol on Chromosome 16q  Päivi Pajukanta, Hooman Allayee, Kelly L. Krass, Ali Kuraishy, Aino Soro, Heidi E. Lilja, Rebecca Mar, Marja-Riitta Taskinen, Ilpo Nuotio, Markku Laakso, Jerome I. Rotter, W.A. de Bruin Tjerk, M. Rita Cantor, J.

2 Figure 1 Two-point maximum LOD scores (from parametric linkage analysis with either a dominant or recessive mode of inheritance or from ASP analysis) obtained for each chromosome in different study samples, using the FCHL trait. Gray columns show the two-point results for the Dutch families with FCHL, white columns show the results for the Finnish families with FCHL, and black columns show the results for the combined data analysis of the Dutch and Finnish families with FCHL. The marker resulting in the highest LOD score on each chromosome is indicated for each study group, and its position from pter (in cM) is given in parentheses. The complete genomewide two-point results are available for all five traits at the authors' Web site.

3 Figure 2 Parametric multipoint results for chromosome 16q24.1, obtained using the HDL-C trait and a recessive mode of inheritance. The analysis was performed using the “Location Score” option of the SimWalk2 program and allowing for heterogeneity. Dutch = the study group of the Dutch families with FCHL; Finns = the Finnish families with FCHL; combined = the Dutch and Finnish families with FCHL; combined + HDL-C = the Dutch and Finnish families with FCHL, as well as the Finnish families with low HDL-C. The α values for the peak location scores of the Dutch, Finns, combined, and combined + HDL-C families were 0.80, 0.70, 0.75, and 0.50, respectively.

4 Figure 3 Conservation between mouse and human sequences in the genomic region of the FOXC2 gene. The SNP located in the putative promoter of the FOXC2 gene (−512) is shown in detail. The comparison between the genomic sequences of human and mouse was performed using the VISTA program.
